If anybody was curious the guy filming says "Are you serious?" 5 times.
I couldn't believe some of the comments the other people were making too, it seems like no one there had any respect for law enforcement. Luckily none of the commentators/filmers stepped in that could have turned ugly really quick.
This video makes me madder ever time I watch it, I guess I should stop watching it.

The LEO involved showed great restraint, he could have easily subdued this individual, but then would probably had to deal with the entire crowd. That in itself is a shame! The females involved need to spend some time in jail to think about their actions.

When King 5 (NBC affiliate) aired the story last night, they pretty much just showed clips of people who were outraged at the policeman's use of "excessive force." At the end, they did show a clip of a guy who analyzes police videos and he said that the cop's actions were justified, but the entire story seemed to be slanted against the cop.

If you put your hands on an officer this is exactly what should happen. I dont feel the least bit bad for this girl. The NAACP has already jumped to her defense saying that the office took it too far, not a mention of the behavior of the girl

Rosenthal was charged in November with second-degree robbery. According to prosecutors, she punched a 15-year-old boy in the face while she and a group of youths were on their way to a rave in South Seattle last Aug. 28. The boy told police that his cellphone and $20 were stolen in the incident. A 14-year-old boy told police that he was punched in the head and his hat was stolen.

Authorities say the case was dismissed when the boys refused to testify.

In April 2008, Rosenthal was charged with third-degree theft after she allegedly stole a minivan in Tukwila, prosecutors said. Kent police said she used a screwdriver to break the ignition and start the vehicle.

The charge was later amended to theft of a motor vehicle. Rosenthal was given a deferred disposition — charges would be dropped if she stayed out of trouble — because it was a first-time offense, said Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff for Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg.

Levias was charged in February 2009 with third-degree assault after she allegedly pushed a King County sheriff's deputy down.

According to charging documents, on Feb. 3, 2009, deputies were called to the Ruth Dykeman Children's Center, a Burien center for troubled girls, in response to a report that Levias was being abusive toward staff. When Levias was confronted by Deputy Amy Zarelli, she pushed the female deputy, causing her to fall, charging papers said.

Levias was given a deferred disposition because it was a first-time offense, Goodhew said.
